The waiter’s smile was practically freezing on his face. He had been in the industry for a long time, but today was undoubtedly the most bizarre day of his career.
First, he had led six Chinese guests into a premium private dining room. Although none of those six looked like frequenters of Michelin-starred restaurants—unmistakable examples of people putting on a bold front to appear wealthier than they were—the waiter was used to such customers and thought nothing of it. Then, two debonair young gentlemen had shown up, insisting the private room was reserved under their names and threatening to speak to the restaurant manager. Guided by the waiter, they discovered they actually knew the first six guests, so after hastily adding two chairs and two place settings, everyone settled down in peace.
Just minutes ago, a man and a woman had arrived. The female companion was elegant and stunning, looking nothing like someone trying to mooch a free meal. The man introduced himself as Mr. Lu and also claimed the room was reserved by them. When the waiter truthfully informed him that eight people were already inside, that Mr. Lu had frozen too, locking wide-eyed stares with the waiter.
